Gary Paxton "Spookie Movies"

Adding a song called "Spooky Movies". Apparently it was also recorded by Gary Paxton, but I can't figure out when it was originally released. Discogs and 45cat show a promo copy of a 45 on the Liberty label from 1963 with catalog number 55584 but I'm not finding an actual release and the song doesn't appear on any other Paxton-related releases until Hollywood Maverick - The Gary S. Paxton Story in 2006.

Was this actually released beyond a promo copy at all?

On a related note, does anyone know if the version by Ron Barrett (Rendezvous R-215) was ever publicly released? I can't find a video of it and both 45cat and Discogs only show a promo release by him

On the Hollywood Maverick - The Gary S. Paxton Story compilation it is listed as previously issued on the Liberty label (55584) and not as 'previously unissued'; the accompanying booklet (page 21; attached) mentions the single as well. The PragueFrank Discography also lists the May 1963 release.... So add it
